Wow...that's a sweet Four Seasons offer!! ^

I wouldn't necessarily blame other brands for not having that same deal, but I would probably ditch any of my "status" brands for that particular offer.

Agree that Marriott makes it tough on the leisure traveler with their withholding of benefits at resorts and on weekends. That's a big reason I moved most of my business stays to Starwood - I can't always take my vacations to international cities where Marriott has a non-resort hotel with a 7-day concierge lounge. When I have, I've enjoyed some nice Marriotts, but I also want the flexibility to do U.S./Canada weekend getaways and resort destinations too. Starwood now gives me this.

The problem with moving "loyalty" to Four Seasons is that there aren't many of them and most of them (sadly) don't have this same kind of deal. If you're mainly a credit card guy, take a look at HHonors. If you're one who uses credit cards and can also put together 21-25 hotel stays per year, look at Starwood.
